"It is long past time to repeal this egregious affront to the 1st Amendment."

When a nation is in peril it takes a great statesman to stride forward and offer a path through the crisis.
The danger is that those lousy dims might suggest that there is a partisan motive for this proposal.
For shame.
Why repeal the espionage act? Why now after Trump violated the act?
Club members, staff and hundreds of guests at wedding receptions, fundraisers and parties could have had access to top-secret information.
“Just the
retention of highly classified documents in improper storage — particularly given Mar-a-Lago [with] the foreign visitors there and others who might have connections with foreign governments and foreign agents — creates a significant national security threat,” former Department of Justice official Mary McCord
told Reuters.
Remember you guys accused Clinton of shit like this? I don't think it was ever proven true. What we do know is the government asked Trump to turn this stuff over and he refused. Why?
“Just the
retention of highly classified documents in improper storage — particularly given Mar-a-Lago [with] the foreign visitors there and others who might have connections with foreign governments and foreign agents — creates a significant national security threat,” former Department of Justice official Mary McCord
told Reuters.
FBI agents on Monday removed
20 boxes of documents with 11 sets of classified information and some top-secret information from Mar-a-Lago, according to the
warrant and property receipt used by the FBI to conduct the search.
The top-secret information is supposed to be held only in a secure government facility. The Washington Post reported that some of the classified documents involved information about
nuclear weapons, which was a
key reason for the urgent search.
In light of his cache of government documents, Trump is under investigation for possible
violations of the Espionage Act, which prohibits Americans from spying or mishandling defense information, including sharing it with those not authorized to receive it, according to the warrant.
Trump has a reputation for being sloppy about handling sensitive information. He blurted out highly classified information about a planned Islamic State operation to Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov and ambassador Sergey Kislyak during a meeting in the Oval Office early in his presidency.
U.S. officials
told The Washington Post that Trump’s disclosure jeopardized a critical source of intelligence on the Islamic State.
The Saudi's gave Jared $2 billion dollars recently. Nothing shady here ladies and gents.
